2. K2 – Image Mode Switch (STILL / MOVIE):

Set K2 to either of these settings:

(UP) STILL Photo Mode: Image resolution is 3.0MP (119833), or 5.0MP (119935/119905) and

photos are stored in JPG format.

(DOWN) MOVIE Mode: e camera can record a 15 second movie, the le format is AVI (with

audio on models 119935/119905).

NOTE: On model# 119833, the combination of NIGHT mode and MOVIE mode will result in dark videos, as the

xenon ash does not function in MOVIE mode. With models 119935/119905, you may use NIGHT and MOVIE

modes together by setting switch K3 (Lighting mode) to the LED position (the standard xenon ash does not func-

tion in MOVIE mode).

(Models 119935/119905 only)

3. K3 - Flash Mode Switch (LED / Standard):

e Game camera has two modes that select which ash type will re under dark conditions:

(a) LED Mode (Infrared LED lamp array):

e IR-LED (infrared) light is invisible to the naked eye, but will provide illumination for the

camera, use it when you do not want to alert the subject at night. is mode can also be used

for nighttime movie capture. During the time dened as “Night”, an infrared blocking lter is

automatically deactivated, so that the IR light generated by the LEDs can create an image. During

the “Day”, the infrared blocking lter is re-activated; therefore, you should use the “Standard” or

xenon ash position for best results when the camera is set to “Day only” time mode.

(b) STD (Standard) Mode: (Xenon ash tube) Note: this switch position may be labeled “Incand”

rather than “STD” on some early production units.

You can use Standard mode for twilight/cloudy conditions, or to take color still pictures at night. If

you want to use the MOVIE mode, you can not use Standard ash mode—you must set K3 to LED.

4. K3 (Model 119833) – (24Hr / DAY/ NIGHT) MODE:

K4 (Model 119935/119905)– (24Hr / DAY / NIGHT) MODE:

5. K4 (Model 119833)– (30s/1Min/2Min) CAMERA DELAY MODE

K5 (Model 119935/119905) – (30s/1Min/2Min) CAMERA DELAY MODE:

ere are three modes for taking delayed pictures: 30 Sec, 1 Min and 2 Min.

e unit will record EVENTS while CAMERA is in DELAY MODE each time the PIR senses motion.

(a) 30s: Aer the rst picture, a second picture will be taken 30 seconds later.

(b) 1Min: Aer the rst picture, a second picture will be taken 1 minute later.

(c) 2Min: Aer the rst picture, a second picture will be taken 2 minutes later.

e Trail Scout has three operating period modes:

(a) 24Hr: e Trail camera is operational both day and night. When the PIR (Passive Infra Red sensor)

senses a subject, the camera will take a photo and record an EVENT.

(b) DAY: e Trail camera only takes photos during the Daytime (user dened Day start~end period or

default 6am~6pm). When the PIR senses a subject, the unit will take an image and record an EVENT.

If the PIR is triggered between the Day end and Day start times, only an EVENT is recorded-an image

is not taken.

(c) NIGHT: e Trail camera only takes photos during the Night (from user set Day end to Day start,

or default 6pm~6am). When the PIR senses a subject the unit will take image and record an EVENT. If

the PIR is triggered during “Day” time, only an EVENT is recorded, an image is not taken.

GLOSSARY

PIR—Passive Infrared Sensor. Senses motion like typical security motion detector. Requires infrared energy (heat) in addition

to motion to trip sensor to assure detection of live animals.

Event—Any time that the PIR senses motion it counts it as an event. Events are recorded to the SD card in a text le. Events

are recorded continuously during operation.

Image—A digital picture recorded on the SD Card when motion is sensed. Images are taken at the desired delay between im-

ages.

Image Delay—Time elapsed between photos while events are sensed and recorded. is is user-set based on wildlife activity

in area.

IR Flash—IR LED Array—Infrared LED Night Vision feature. Emits a burst of infrared light which is invisible to the human

eye. Especially useful for night photos when a visible ash is undesirable. (Featured on Models 119935/119905 only)

Std (Standard) Flash—Xenon ash tube used for low light or night photography. Automatically res if necessary due to dark,

overcast skies or waning light late in the day.

SD Card—Memory card used to store images and events. Compatible with up to 1GB capacity SD card (all new Trail Scouts

include a 128MB card).

Battery Life—Time that camera will function in the eld. Dependent on temperature, number of images and number of ashes

during that time.

Setup—Using the display menu and buttons to set the date/time, still photo or movies, and password.

Security—One of the most important requirements of any trail camera. e Trail Scouts have 4 security features—padlock tab,

tree bracket, cable lock, and soware password.

Trigger Speed—Time delay between a subject passing in front of PIR sensor and the image capture of that subject.

All Bushnell Trail Cameras have a trigger speed of less than one second.

1. SD CARD SLOT

e unit has a standard SD Card slot. You must push the SD Card in with the SD Card label facing the

Bushnell logo into the SD card slot. Pushing it again will release the SD card, and then you can remove the

SD card from the SD card slot. Insertion or removal of SD card is only recommended when the unit is in

the “OFF” position.

2. PIR SENSOR

e sensor that triggers the trail camera is Passive InfraRed, or PIR. Infrared energy is essentially heat

energy. e PIR detector operates by sensing a change in the infrared level in its detection zone. is zone

is a cone in the center 10 degrees of the camera’s eld of view. e camera establishes an average long-term

infrared level. When this level increased suddenly the PIR detector signals the camera to record a picture

and/or an event. Because of this eect, the PIR detector will be more sensitive at night, when the average

temperature is lower.

In the Setup mode, you can use PIR sensor to determine the detection zone .When the PIR is sensed, the

PIR Sense Indicator will light. e camera’s eld of view is a 45 degree cone, centered on the PIR detection

zone.

3. LASER POINTER (Models 119935/119905 Only)

e 119935/119905 Trail Scout camera has a Laser pointer. When you mount the unit on a tree or any

other xed surface and cannot sight from behind the Game Camera, you can use the Laser Pointer to align

the unit.

NOTE: LASER LIGHT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO THE EYES.

THE LASER POINTER IS ACTIVATED IN THE SET-UP MODE.

DO NOT PERMIT THE LASER POINTER TO BE DIRECTED

TOWARD ANYONE’S EYES TO AVOID POTENTIAL EYE INJURY.

4. AUTO DAY/NIGHT IR FILTER SWITCH (Models 119935/119905 Only)

e Model 119935/119905 Trail Scout camera has an automatic function which activates a lter in the

camera’s lens system during the time period you dene as “Day” (see “Set Day Time” in the Setup Guide).

e purpose of this lter is to block infrared light, so that photos taken by daylight or with the standard

(xenon) ash tube (in heavy shade or late in the day) will have a normal appearance. is infrared lter is

found in virtually all digital cameras, as their image sensors are sensitive to infrared light as well as visible

light wavelengths. However, during the time period dened as “Night” (from Day end time to Day start

time), the infrared blocking lter is automatically deactivated, or removed from the lens path. is allows

the LED lamp array, which emits invisible infrared light, to be able to create an image on the camera’s CMOS

sensor when the IR light illuminates a subject in front of the lens. Because the infrared lter is activated

during the Day time period, the combination of “DAY Only” operating mode and “LED” ash mode is not

recommended, as the lter will prevent the infrared light from the LED from reaching the sensor, resulting

in dark photos. e standard ash may be selected along with “NIGHT Only” mode, however, photos may be

slightly pink or reddish in color due to the deactivated infrared lter. Refer to the following chart:

5. MOON PHASE STAMP

All new Trail Scout models have a “moon phase” stamp feature. is links the current date (as set by the user in

the setup procedure) to the phase of the moon on that date (this data is stored on an internal memory chip), and

imprints a icon on your photo which represents the moon phase when the photo was taken. e moon phase

icon will appear on your photos in the lower le, next to your name and the Bushnell logo. Some hunters will

nd this to be a useful reference, as it can help determine if particular animals are inactive at night when a full or

nearly full moon is present, causing them to be more visible to predators. Or, if some of your night photos seem

to have a darker or lighter background (beyond the range of the LED lamps or ash), you can see if that was

related to how bright the moon was at the time. e icons for the various phases of the moon are shown above.
